Thank you Luka, for this epic post on how a newcomer to IM could venture into building a website and ways to monetize it, from scratch. I was referred to this awesome thread by NapsteR. Much respect and a big thank you to him, as well.
Since the post was written and edited last, in 2011, I was wondering if the same tools and methods are still applicable in 2015, as it were in 2011. Basics might still be the same but I would be grateful if the OP or someone could add any new information/methods which could be applied in 2015. Thank you.
